Dramatically Increase Your Traffic
My intention here isn’t to hype you up and drive you to another website, I want to give you some fast, quick tips on how to increase your traffic immediately using video and article promotion strategies. I’m going to just give you my personal four step traffic creation strategy, and you need to do it consistently to get dramatic results. What I’m going to encourage you to do is to run through the whole strategy once per day. If, however you are strapped for time, this can be scaled back to once every seven days. Ok, so here goes:
1. Step one is to make a piece of educational content. It doesn’t have to be the best content in the world, it just needs to be useful and educational in nature. Pretty much no matter what you do, you’re not going to be able to completely predict where the majority of your traffic will come from. There are a lot of gurus that try to teach you how to only tackle the big babies, but you’ll be better off writing lots of articles than you will trying to write the perfect one. The same goes with videos. Just create something with some valuable information in your niche, and put it on a website. You could put it on a blog, an article site, or a video site if that’s your gig.
2. Step two is to make a video announcing your article, and broadcast your video to the video sharing sites. Video marketing is one of my favorite promotion tactics because you get the search engines picking up your content 10 times faster than any other method. Confused? Simply sit in front of a camera and talk about your exciting new article for 30 seconds. I use a service called ‘Traffic Geyser’ to broadcast my videos, because it’s simple to use and it’s the best thing around for video promotion. When you send your videos out to the sites, point the links back to your original piece of content. You can also use a free program called TubeMogul, but it isn’t nearly as effective as Traffic Geyser is.
3. In the third step, you just write an original, short article and you broadcast it to the article directories, pointing the article back to your original content. I like articles because they rank really well in the search engines and they get you long term, residual traffic if you use them consistently. They also give you a kind of ‘super credibility’ that only can come from massive exposure and consistent content creation. I use automated software to promote your articles.
4. Do it every day. Look, this system will work well for you if you follow it consistently over time. Honestly, even if your articles stink and your videos are second class, it will still work.The cool thing is that this four step process works even if your content isn’t the best around. (Of course, it will work much better if they’re killer). However, just do it consistently for the next 100 days.
So why should you keep working the strategy over the next 100 days? I’ve got a simple answer for you. If you follow the simple advice in this article, you’ll be getting so much traffic and leads that you’ll flip out with enthusiasm. (It works that well). Stick with it my friends and I’ll see you at the top of the search engines.
